Shipping & Returns
Shipping
We offer free shipping on almost all items. For a lot of our products, we even offer free USPS Priority, USPS Express, and even Next Day Air. However, due to the new laws and regulation, all items that have teal with nicotine, such as e-cigs, disposables, e-cig coils, and e-juice will require you to pay $9.95. These items must be shipped with an adult signature.
Please note delivery times are not always guaranteed. Once a package leaves our facility, it is hard for us to have control over the package. Most packages will deliver within the time frame. However, due other factors outside our shipping carriers control (weather, rural addresses, natural disasters, shipping facility delays, etc.) the occasional order may arrive outside our shipping estimate. Therefore, we do not offer any sort of refund on shipping. Also keep in mind, weekends and holidays are not considered business days. We always ship packages based on the method that was selected at checkout. If there any delays, that is outside of our control. Please contact USPS or UPS.Â

This is an optional service that insures your package if it gets lost or damaged during transit, based off of your tracking information. If one of these issues do occur, please contact us within 10 days on the date of the last tracking update. Once this is purchased, it is nonrefundable.Â

Tracking information
USPS tracking information may take up to 24 hours before any status is shown. At times, you may experience your tracking showing "Electronic shipping information received." This simply states that USPS has scanned the package and does not always determine the movement of the package whereabouts.
